Hrig (crossing border illegally) isn’t just about escaping.
It’s an act of rebellion.

A generation is rising. Refusing silen


Your support will help us:

  • complete two upcoming shoots (Spain + hybrid performance sequence),

  • ensure the safety of the crew,

  • finalize editing, sound, and post-production,

About us — Cadre Cagoule
We are a guerrilla filmmaking and audiovisual collective made up of anartists and artivists from across the MENA region.

Born from the urgency to create outside dominant systems, we amplify silenced voices and confront the political, economic, and social realities of our region.

We reject censorship, control, and cultural co-optation.
We work independently, horizontally, and outside state-sponsored creative industries.
Our work spans documentary, fiction, archive, experimental sound, performance, podcast, and installation, where imag

Cadre Cagoule is an independent guerrilla cinema and audiovisual creation collective, bringing together anartivists and artists from the MENA region.

Born out of the urgency to create outside of dominant frameworks, we produce works that interrogate the political, economic, and social realities of the region, amplifying marginalized, unofficial voices often silenced.

By adopting guerrilla cinema, Cadre Cagoule actively rejects the systems of control, censorship, and institutionalization imposed by states. It is both an act of artistic resistance and a concrete strategy for autonomous creation, despite bans and surveillance.

We refuse to participate in institutional and state-run creative industries, which are often complicit with dominant culture and political co-optation. The collective organizes autonomously, outside of official circuits, fostering a horizontal and independent creative process.

Our projects take various forms: documentaries, fiction films, interdisciplinary experiments, archival works, music videos, podcasts, sound installations, etc. Each creation becomes a space of freedom, reflection, and resistance, where imagination meets politics.
